Lmao, the term unaliving is censorship. Tiktok won’t let you say “kill”.
- Comment on Oh fuck no 3 weeks ago:
They don’t censor because they’re offended by the words. They censor so platforms like tiktok don’t delete their posts.
- Comment on Oh fuck no 3 weeks ago:
The younger generations decided that being offended by swear words is fucking stupid.
- Comment on Radio station uses AI to interview the ghost of a dead Nobel-winner with 3 quirky zoomers who don't exist, seems baffled people don't like it 4 weeks ago:
Spotify has a playlist called Daily Drive that does exactly that. It creates a playlist of music you like then between songs will play news snippets from the day. It’s pretty cool about half the time.

Sasan Goodarzi is a man, btw.

Why do you even have frameskipping enabled on a snes game? Surely you can emulate it at full speed?

Number of employees working on games is in the list at the bottom of the article. 181 as of 2021.

- Comment on Notorious arcade gamer Billy Mitchell settles suit over Donkey Kong world record 10 months ago:
No. This is new news that just happened. The 2019 case has been stretched out for 5 years and wasn’t settled until this last week. There’s are several court documents linked in the article dated January 11, 2024.

The fatigue mask makes the underwear irrelevant. If I have an extra 7 hours in a day, I can spend some of that showering. You’d essentially gain an extra 3.5 months every year in additional time, plus you’d never be tired for any of it. There’s a lot I could do with that time.
The Pan is questionably useful. Delicious food is cool, but has limited use with the cooldown. If I wanted to start a restaurant or something, could I only cook 3 delicious meals in a day? Or does “while in use” mean I could use to continuous look for 8 hours? If so, you could run a 3 star Michelin restaurant.
The shoes also seem limited to me. I can only use it until my stamina runs out? My stamina is already so low that 5x isn’t even that much. I suppose I could use them to win the Olympics without training, but would they count as a violation? I really don’t want to get involved in the underground track and field ring.
The glasses are very useful, lots of ways to find success if you know your way around networking. Being able to talk your way into or out of anything could get you crazy money, power, success, etc. in whatever you choose to do.
The penny is also mad useful. It essentially covers the abilities of all other items, albeit with a massive cooldown. Even still having an entire day of things going your way 26 times a year is an insane amount. You could win the lottery, start and sells successful businesses, find the love of your life, whatever, as long as you can make it happen in 12 hours.
I think it really comes down to the mask, the glasses or the penny. The mask really appeals to the tired part of me, but it doesn’t really give you any superhuman abilities, just extra time to be normal, and I’d probably just waste it anyway. And while the glasses would be useful daily, you’d still have to do a lot of work to get yourself into important social situations to make use of it. Essentially your job would become networking. With the penny, I really think I could use its power to get myself into those situations by sheer luck, and then also have them go my way, by luck. I think I could end up making as much progress in those 12 hours as I could with 2 weeks of the glasses. Plus with the money I win from the lottery, I could fund projects faster instead of having to talk my way into funding.
I’m gonna go with the penny.

You put Banjo Kazooie on your worst list and Minecraft Legends on your best list? Hard disagree there bud.
- Comment on Whoopsie daisy, one should leave it to to the professionals maybe 11 months ago:
Partly because people replace phones more often than computers. But also the RAM they use in portable devices was made specifically for the device and integrated directly into the mainboard. There’s less points of failure and compatibility is never an issue. Since desktop RAM can be replaced and upgraded, it’s not as big of a deal if it fails, you can just swap it out with a new stick. Whereas it would brick the whole device if mobile ram fails, so quality standards are much higher.

- Comment on By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country. 11 months ago:
From my understanding a social construct is something that is that is formed through an agreement between people in a society as opposed to something that is an objective observation of phyiscial reality. Like for example money is a social construct, because we all agree that it has value and treat it as such, even though objectively a hundred dollar bill is just a piece of cloth and otherwise would only have as much value as any other piece of cloth. Democracy is a social construct, marriage, the calandar, gender norms, fashion, and crime are all social constructs. It doesn’t mean they aren’t “real” things, just that they’re only real because we all collectively agree they’re real.
If you don’t agree with that definition, I’m curious what you think a social construct is and what things you would believe to be social constructs?

So from what I can find, you’re right in that it’s not 100% goo, but it’s not really “coordinated small steps either”. It’s a messy fluid process that all sort of happens at once. When caterpillars are inside their chrysalises, they first digest themselves by releasing an enzyme. But this enzyme doesn’t break down everything. Some organs are completely dissolved, but most only partially, and are moved around remodeled into their butterfly counterparts. As for the entirely new parts, like wings, they’ve actually been inside the caterpillar since before the cocoon as these tiny clumps of cells call imaginal discs, and it’s only during metamorphosis that they begin to develop into their full size organ. It’s really cool, and you should read more about it. I’m no expert, so I’m sure I explained it badly, but here’s some good links.

Haha, exactly why I bought it
- Comment on Are phone notification LEDs still a thing? 1 year ago:
I just bought a Sony Xperia 5 IV, it was released last November, and it has one. So they’re not completely gone yet. I really appreciate it. Always on displays seem like overkill for that purpose.
